Ready, steady, GO! The 2007 Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival is now open. Take a peek at the programme... it is nothing short of a ten-day extravaganza. Be dazzled by Man Booker Prize winner Kiran Desai, the iconic Gore Vidal, legendary Jan Morris, renowned actress and chef Madhur Jaffrey, adventurer Simon Winchester and bestselling novelist Amy Tan. Be inspired by the tales of some extraordinary lives: Namu Yang describes growing up in the matriarchal Moso tribe in China; Indian maid turned bestselling author Baby Halder documents her life in A Life Less Ordinary. Be engaged by the issues of globalisation with Indian writer Pankaj Mishra and world-renowned philosopher John Ralston Saul. Learn about the history and myths of the Long March with Sun Shuyun, Ed Jocelyn and Andrew McEwan. Read the books. Meet the authors. Be swept away by Adam William’s The Emperors’ Bones, an epic story of survival, cruelty, healing and love. Grow up in Vietnam War-era Hong Kong with Alice Greenway’s White Ghost Girls. Learn about love, life, families - Tahitian style - in Celestine Vaite’s Frangipani. Enjoy Andrew O’Connor’s Tuvalu, a dark, funny and strangely beguiling story of Noah Tuttle, who glumly and aimlessly lives a half life in the seamier side of Tokyo. Be part of it. Bookclub teas, literary lunches, panel discussions, writing workshops, conversations and lectures... There is something for everyone! Priority booking for Friends of the Festival is now available. Tickets will go on sale for the general public on Saturday, 10 February. |
